Game Description:
Fun multi-skill game!
Objective:
The goal of this game is to engage children in a variety of locomotor skills.
Game Rules:
Lay half noodle all over the open space. Begin by having the children skipping around the noodles when the leader calls out a colour, the children run to a noodle of that colour and touch it. Once everyone has touched the right coloured noodle the game begins again.
Saftey Considerations:
Remind the children to be aware of the people around them as they move freely throughout the gym or field.

For variation, different locomotor skills can be used in place of skipping such as running, hopping, galloping etc.
